The Camelid Rescue Coalition (CRC), comprising Northeast Llama Rescue, Inc. (NELR), Southeast Llama Rescue, Inc. (SELR), Southwest Llama Rescue, Inc. (SWLR), Llama Association of North America's Lama Lifeline Committee (LANA Lifeline) and several other llama associations, is thrilled to announce that all llamas have been evacuated from the Montana Large Animal Sanctuary.

Of the 506 llamas that were held in triage at the sanctuary in preparation for transport, 495 are now receiving the best of care at foster facilities throughout the country. Four llamas were euthanized on site when it was determined that their conditions were not improving and that they would not survive transport. Three llamas died in transit or shortly thereafter, and five others died prior to transport due to their extremely compromised states.

The CRC wishes to extend our gratitude to the kind persons caring for the 495 llamas in foster facilities. These facilities are located in California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Washington State.

We are also pleased to announce that one of our member organizations, Southeast Llama Rescue, Inc., is the recipient of a $20,000 grant from the ASPCA. The grant will help to defray some of the over $50,000 spent by SELR and the CRC on initial transportation costs.

Donations are still needed to help us provide hay and supplies for the hundreds of llamas now in foster care, and to assist with future transport of llamas to their adoptive homes. For more information about donating, please visit SELR at SoutheastLlamaRescue.org (678 Mill Creek Rd, Luray, VA 22835) to support this effort through your generous donation. SELR is a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

We continue to ask that anyone wishing to adopt llamas from this effort to contact our member organizations for details.
